Former US Louisiana Representative David Duke on Monday expresses solidarity with Syria in face of the pressures and threats against the country.
Duke told a news conference at the 'Nation's Tent' at Rawda Square in Damascus that "I have come to Syria to express my support to the Syrian people and their just stances...it's the duty of every free man to reject the conspiracies and threats Syria is exposed to."
He added that the pro-Israel neoconservatives in the US have influence on their country's foreign policy and have been working behind the scenes through their mass media in the US to hide "the reality of Israeli terrorism against the Arabs."
On the war on Iraq, the former US Senator said the war has created a crisis in the world, adding that those who advised the American administration to go into this war have been working to widen the scope of the crisis to spread it to other countries in the region.
Former Representative Duke said Iraq war cost the US 300 billion dollars, more than 2000 dead, and between 20,000 to 30,000 wounded, pushed America into a real crisis and raised hatred against its foreign policy in the world.
He added that Israel has been practicing state terrorism against the Arabs, and the American people know this reality which "Zionist-controlled mass media seek to distort."
I remember reading an article about him years ago. There was a photo of Duke in his office, and on the bookshelf was a biography of Quisling.
I bet Cindy Sheehan is just upset that she can't vote for him.
David Duke, Dick Durbin, what's the difference?
Seriously. It's textbook.
David Duke. Another son of Louisiana for us to be really proud of. My God. Nagin, BLANK-O, Cool Hand Willie Jefferson, and now David the Brownshirt cosying up to Baby Assad. Can it get any worse for the Bayou State? Probably.
I used to think he was just a kook.
I didn't even put that together, but you're right. Something wrong with the bayou state.
"This is about money. He's broke...so he sold out."
Sold out? I don't think so. This is perfectly in line with Dukes long held bigotry against jews. The Klan, neo nazi's, leftists of just about any brand, love anti semite's regardless of race or color. Hey, Duke and calypso louie....two peas in a pod.
Hopefully he's a candidate for a "heart attack".
The Klan and Duke are no fans of Catholics either.
Exports generally don't return, they stay.
Another home grown anti-American terrorista speaks.
Britney Spears might make a comeback.
I understand that...but even the Klan is rarely this treasoness. So, IMHO, he had some monetary incentive to sell out in such a high profile way.
HAHHAHAHAHa... the quesion is, what do the Syrians possibly think they have to gain from this?
And watch out for her little sis, Jamie Lynn.
Whose "friend" is David Duke?
So David Duke was part of Jay Rockefeller's envoy to Syria?
He was never a Senator. I don't think he was ever a Representative either.
The boy's a fetid little floater, isn't he?
Good place for him!
